Chapter 20: The Thousand Year Ice Cavern

Just when Yi Ping was la chest as Ji Lingfeng vanished froht, he turned pale immediately!

It was because he had suddenly discovered that the goat skin that contained the Asper Invocations Intricate Recite Manual and the Divine Revelation Skill was !

The secret skill had been given to hioat skin

Did he drop it?

Or did Ji Lingfeng steal it from hioat skin

Or was it Xiao Youxue?

He turned and looked intently at Xiao Youxue as standing in a regal manner

He could tell that Xiao Youxue was a haughty lady and there was a forbidden aura around here but yet there was so else about her that he could not pinpoint yet

The more he looked at her, he was sure she was not an old lady

But she could not possibly be the one that stolen his family secret skills because she had just saved his life…

Could it be Ji Lingfeng then? Maybe it was her after all Maybe she wanted hio after her…

But he shook his head and said, “No matter if it is Maiden Ji or Xiao Youxue, they are both my saviors If they really want my family secret skills, so be it A hero should repay his benefactors with so that is dear to him”

Just when he was about to ask Xiao Youxue by asking her to run in an opposite direction froroup of people that wererapidly in their direction

Panicking, he grabbed Xiao Youxue as they began to move rapidly away from where they were

Xiao Youxue gasped softly when Yi Ping had suddenly grabbed her hand She too, had noticed that there were pursuers but was at a loss what to do as she was not supposed to hear anything

Xiao Youxue wanted to gasp out io of my hand…” But in the end, she did not say a word and instead, she was blushi+ng as she thought “He is holding my hand now…”

When Yi Ping had touched her hand, he got the electrifying feeling again as he thought in alarm, “Her hand is so silky and smooth?”

He alripped her hand even tighter…

He had no idea why his heart had been beating so fast

At this ti pursued by the majority of the orthodox fraternity and the Honor Manor, Xiao Shuai and Shui Yixian were also looking for them at the same time

It seemed that in this vast fraternity, there were no places for thee

They traveled through the forest in a see Xiao Youxue He felt sorry for her that she was being forced to be on the run with hiood as he orried if she could follow his pace and fearful that she ht be too tired

But the truth was, Yi Ping was also seriously injured and he was slohile Xiao Youxue had intentional kept a slower pace than him so that he would not feel hurried

Xiao Youxue looked keenly at his back and could not believe that she would one day walk side by side with him…

All of a sudden, Yi Ping spotted a cave along the side of a cliff Thatand hidden place The cave was still far and was concealed by trees but Yi Ping could see it clearly

So he paused and wrote on the ground quickly with a stick, “Senior, there is a well concealed cave in the direction of that cliff I think that ood place to seek shelter and from our pursuers”

Xiao Youxue paused in her tracks and looked at the direction that Yi Ping was pointing Even though her translucent veil covered her eyes but she could see through it keenly But no matter how focus she was, she could not see the concealed cave

She thought, “His eyesight is that good?”

After Yi Ping had regained conscious, he was suddenly endoith superior sight, hearing and perception At first he was startled by it but he was slowly adapting to it

Xiao Youxue nodded slowly to indicate that she illing to follow him in that direction

Yi Ping said to her even though she could not hear hi and you th”

Yi Ping began to sweep the words that he had written on the ground quickly with a tree branches and they took off immediately

They soon reached the cave When they first entered the cave, Yi Ping and Xiao Youxue was startled by it It was because the inside of the cave was freezing cold and even had ice in it while the cave outside arm! It was not yet winter and yet this cave was like an entrance to an ice world!

Yi Ping said, “Alas! Is this the legendary ‘Thousand Year Ice Cavern’ that never melts even in summer?”

He was noildered and unsure if they should enter this cave It was too cold and that they did not have any winter clothes

Just as he was hesitating, Xiao Youxue walked into the cave!

Yi Ping called out after her, “Lady Xiao, wait! This cave erous!”

Then he thought, “She can’t hear me I am so silly!” But still when he ran after her, he was still calling out and waving his hands, “Lady Xiao, wait!”

Even though Xiao Youxue alking, it took some time for him to catch up with her He was astonished at her pace They were now in a huge ice cavern and there was even a stream in the cave And in the waters, there were even snohite fishes!

Yi Ping was startled at the sight of this huge ice cavern…

Xiao Youxue was astonished too Even though she had circulated her vital energy to protect herself from the cold, she could still feel the cold Had she lost tooor was this cave supernaturally cold?

All of a sudden, a monstrous snohite fish that was at least a hundred tier than the other fishes ju!

Its jaere so big that it could snap his head

Even though the fish was startling fast, Yi Ping and Xiao Youxue was even quicker They reacted with a supernatural speed as both of them struck the forehead of the fish!+

The monstrous fish was knocked sideway and crashed onto the floor of the cavern

Yi Ping was surprised that the Lady Xiao was able to react so fast If she was not there, the th alone!

He thought, “She has saved ht of bullying me? I almost become the first man to be killed by a fish in this unlikely manner”

They took a look at the round It was still alive It seee to it

All of a sudden, Lady Xiao took out the long sword that Yi Ping had given her and slashed the fish on its body!

There was a binding flash of light as the sword hacked across the body of the , the sword failed to cut the armor scales of the fish!+

Once again, the Lady Xiao hacked at the fish again but this time at its tail

Yi Ping was already saying, “Wait!” But it was already too late

This ti off the tail of the fish!+

Yi Ping sighed and said, “We should have release the fish back into the waters Even though it had tried to harm me but it did not succeed” But he knew that Lady Xiao could not possible hear hiht be much older than him and it was only proper for him to address her as senior and abide by her wishes

The Lady Xiao cut the monstrous fish expertly with the White Emerald Phoenix sword and skinned the iant fish scales and put it into a bundle

Yi Ping was surprised that Lady Xiao was also highly accomplished in swordplay He had never seen her type of swordplay before It ift, precise and beautiful to behold

He thought, “But why is it when I hold her hand, her hand is so sh she has never been trained with an external weapon…”
